Research Notes

How did he end up in Vermont? Did he have Revolutionary War service?

Find a Grave has no mention of his wife and I could find no source yet confirming the marriage to Mary Hawley on FS. Mary is also currently shown on WikiTree as a wife of Samuel Ensign (1740-1819), but this is also without source and conflicts with Ensign's known wife, Mary Slade/Slate. If I can find sources I will add them, but if I can't find a source for the Ensign-Hawley marriage I will detach her as his (Ensign's) wife. Bogue-687 21:36, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
